easier AT ALL
It's not easier...just better.<wink> And once you learn one app from MX,
the rest are no problem. Seeing that I'd been using HomeSite for YEARS
(and a beta tester for version 4) when Macromedia bought out HomeSite
and incorporated the best of HS into DW...it was a no brainer for me to
learn DW. Had it mastered in two days and now that I know DW, learning
Flash, Animator and Fireworks has been NO big deal.
In fact, just to blow you away even more, see what I can do now!!!!!!!!
I have a new client who wants me to help their 97 users move to XP,
here's a sample of my training site. Note, you need sound to hear my
instruction and decent bandwidth to view this Flash movie.

Greg...you seriously saying that you think Dreamweaver is easier to use
than FrontPage?
I think FP is a snap and DW is WAY confusing....maybe it's cuz I'm so

I won't speculate on her reasoning but I will point to a flaw in your
own (after all, you don't seem too shy to apply the method yourself).
People will spend money on tools they can use with minimal training
despite a cheaper priced alternative that provides too many challenges.
Your assertion that "it's the user, not the tool" is inaccurate and
serves people poorly. It's the same argument Sun used to use to ignore
valid arguments about the cost of creating enterprise systems (of
course, they weren't shy about price either so they had both barrels
loaded and aimed directly at their feet). Or the inverse of the
arguments that Microsoft used to successfully wipe out Word Perfect.
People who were actually trained in print production actually found Word
Perfect to be much better suited to their needs as electronic
typographers. But the larger market was the one Word was designed for
and the opinions of those experienced producers took a back seat.
